As a dedicated gamer, I’m pumped up to share some thrilling news! It turns out that my favorite TV series, SWAT, featuring the charismatic Shemar Moore, is getting a fresh new season on Netflix. Can’t wait to dive back into the action-packed world of this gripping police procedural!

The beloved series, a modern adaptation of the show from the 1970s, focuses on Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr., a member of the Special Weapons and Tactics unit within the Los Angeles police department.

This revamped series continues to capture the hearts of viewers as it follows Hondo’s professional life in law enforcement.

With an impressive lineup featuring actors like Jay Harrington and David Lim, the first six seasons of the show can already be found streaming on Netflix. However, fans will have to wait until September 2nd, as that’s when the seventh season will become available for streaming.

Initially planned as the last installment of a series that first aired in 2017, the thirteen-episode season was supposed to serve as its farewell. However, CBS announced its cancellation in May 2023. Surprisingly, they changed their mind in April and gave the green light for an eighth season instead.

Despite appearing unavoidable, the series was temporarily postponed. Following another cancellation by CBS in March, the series concluded with its final episode in May. The eighth season had 22 episodes, bringing the total number of episodes for the entire series up to 163.

Andrew Dettmann, our showrunner, finds the news about the show’s cancellation very sad, especially since it’s been a truly enjoyable experience collaborating with this talented cast and crew to produce something we’ve all been proud of,” is a more natural and easy-to-read paraphrase.

It’s simply amazing to be working with this exceptional team who have consistently put in immense effort and shown unwavering dedication throughout these eight seasons, conquering numerous obstacles along the way. I can’t express enough admiration for their work. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a member of the SWAT family.

The news undoubtedly left many viewers feeling let down, as they had consistently given the show high ratings during its eight-year run. On IMDb, the police procedural currently enjoys a commendable 7.2 rating out of 10 based on over 32,000 reviews from users.

One user expressed, “I can’t quite pinpoint why, but I find myself drawn to SWAT. Of course, it’s not perfect – you’ll notice some flaws now and then. But compared to other shows I’ve watched, it has its fair share of imperfections, yet still manages to hold my attention.” The other user simply stated, “I find it enjoyable and well-written.

As for Netflix, they’re set to offer the first seven seasons of a popular show. However, the latest eighth season is currently being shown on Sky Max, with new episodes arriving every Sunday. Interestingly, all previous episodes are also available, so you get the best of both streaming services!

Starting September 2nd, SWAT’s seventh season will be available on Netflix. As for season 8, new episodes are aired every Sunday on Sky Max.”

“Season 7 of SWAT arrives on Netflix on September 2nd. Episodes from season 8 air weekly on Sky Max.
